Elephant Dung Coffee Bean Beer Sells Out in Minutes

You thought coffee beans collected from Civet poo was rare….enter the elephant!  Details from DBR:

The beer, which is called Un, Kono Kuro, is made using coffee beans that have passed through an elephant. 

The Sankt Gallen brewery called the beer a “chocolate stout”, despite it not containing any chocolate. The coffee beans used in the beer come from elephants at Thailand’s Golden Triangle Elephant Foundation, which cost over US$100 per 35 grams. The beans are so expensive as 33kgs of beans in the mouth yields 1kg of useable coffee beans.
